Pirate’s Treasure Island

If you haven’t stumbled upon the Alameda Daily Noose yet you are really missing out. A satire website run by a one “Roger Grumble” it is loosely based upon long running Alameda “news” site, Alameda Daily News.

The writing is meticulous and humorous and a whole lot of fun, particularly if you know the site it is spoofing.

Recently “Roger” has catalogued an idelogical battle between two writers over whether residents in the 94502 were allowed to truly call themselves Alamedans.

Let me point out that the current and previous four Alameda Mayors all lived on Harbor Bay Isle. (The one before that apparently lived in Cleveland, surprisingly.) Is it possible that this is just a coincidence? City Hall is just a building. What is important is where your mayor actually lives so you can drive across the street to borrow a cup of sugar or give your mayor an earful about the latest annoyances from Squirrels, Bagpipes, teenagers, and so forth.

But eventually the resolution, redirecting their anger toward phone number prefixes.
